If you're a Box admin, the admin console enables you to quickly and easily search for keywords in the following categories:
- Managed Users section of the admin console, including searching for Name, Email, and User ID
- External Users section of the admin console, including searching for Name, Email, and User ID
- Groups section of the admin console
- Enterprise Settings section of the admin console
- Help topics publicly available at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us
You can search all categories, or select a single category to search.
